Iron hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, FeHCF always suffers from a poor cycling stability, which is closely related to the abundant vacancy defects in its framework. Herein, post-synthetic and in-situ vacancy repairing strategies are proposed for the synthesis of high-quality FeHCF in a highly concentrated Na4Fe(CN)6 solution. Both the post-synthetic and in-situ vacancy repaired FeHCF products (FeHCF-P and FeHCF-I) show the significant decrease in the number of vacancy defects and the reinforced structure, which can suppress the side reactions and activate the capacity from low-spin Fe in FeHCF. In particular, FeHCF-P delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 131 mAh g−1 at 1 C and remains 109 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles, with a capacity retention of 83%. FeHCF-I can deliver a high discharge capacity of 158.5 mAh g−1 at 1 C. Even at 10 C, the FeHCF-I electrode still maintains a discharge specific capacity of 103 mAh g−1 and retains 75% after 800 cycles. This work provides a new vacancy repairing strategy for the solution synthesis of high-quality FeHCF.
